If your name is Noemi
and you told me to listen to Käptn Peng at that very enjoyable party last weekend,
I want to thank you.
I marvel at your intuition. Sure, the animals occuring in the song
Sie mögen sich are not uncommon animals, but it's still interesting that they are the animals that were most important to me over the last months.
The fox, First of all, is the spirit animal of the girl I've been falling in love with over the last two years over a distance. I've even come to the crazy suspicion that she is a Kitsune spirit.
The Albatross, the second animal mentioned in the song, has at one point become the spirit animal of the airplane that I'm helping to design since last year. From an aircraft designer and glider pilot's perspective, the Albatross is a fascinating animal. With its huge wingspan it is extremely efficient, can cruise the world for months, relying on free energy found in the wind gradient above the ocean surface. It is such a beautiful animal.
When Micha joined our team he started to question the inspiration coming from the Albatross.
Maybe, he said, our aircraft should rather be like a Pelican. Compact, sturdy, able to carry a high payload. Easy to build and to maneuver.
Maybe he's right. The issue is not closed yet. Are we designing an Albatross or a Pelican? Is she a Kitsune?
Maybe I'll find some answers when I read Käptn Peng's book.
Closing the circle about Käptn Peng, I got to mention that after a short Youtube streak I discovered a seven-year-old song that I actually know: Der Anfang ist nah
I've loved it since I first listened to it. What a beautiful song.
To anyone not capable of the german language but still interested in the song, I'll be glad to translate it to you. Just send me a message.
And I also like Sockosophie.

Searching for a video of an albatross in flight the algorithm stumbled me over the song I'm an Albatraoz which has 1.1B views. Wow. According to the comment section, “Albatraoz” is
a slang term used to describe a woman who is strong, confident and independent. A homage to the large bird
Interesting. I knew that song. But didn't connect it to the bird or a strong woman.
I am also fascinated by that woman. I like her face and also her stature.
